“The short answer is I don’t” 😂😂😂 too real

[lvlystrz]

yes i agree with this! i don’t know if i have adhd or not but that’s really helpful

[EndTheplusequals]

My piles are insane. After watching you and some others who advocate for people with ADHD, I got an assessment scheduled for myself. Thank you ❤

This is how I clean!! I start by section ❤ when it comes to dishes (call me crazy) I divide them in sections (cups, plates, cutlery, pots, plastic) it helps to finish and not feeling overwhelmed ❤

I do the same, I didn’t realize how gnarly my adhd was until I saw your videos tbh. I knew I had it was diagnosed at 14 but refused medication until now at 26. My dad and his mom have super bad like…. Bad adhd. I realized through your videos, I’m not lazy, I am not the loser I thought I was. I just had to face the music that I need help and medication. Crazy even my partner is now more aware bc he thought something was seriously wrong with me too.

Tip for all other adhders out there: instead of making a list of what needs done, take a picture of the messy rooms and send them to chatgpt and it will make the list for you. Say what you want about ai but it's great at being your frontal lobe.

I’ve said it many times but your channel has been very validating Olivia. Thank you. It’s easier to reflect on how I complete tasks when I see someone else go about it the same way I would.

I do this with a lot of things. Mail goes into trash, action, or file piles. Clothes are perpetually in the piles on the floor determined by dirtiness and wear time (i.e. Pjs vs shorts snd such).

[AbigailMarsolee]

This is exactly how I clean too! I have combine type adhd and get really overwhelmed with complex tasks to the point of shutting down and feeling paralyzed. But grouping and body doubling are the 2 methods that help me best!

[Crystalelements]

Thanks for the tip. I always get overwhelmed when cleaning and never know where to start

[MeTheHuman]

Whenever I have to clean I use the tiktok audio thats like “pick up everything green or blue” because it makes me feel like Im playing a game rather than cleaning

[Mikayla_Gilboy]

I have ADHD and autism, this is what I do to clean and it really helps

[FooFooKachu]

This is really how it works. Reorganizing the tasks on my mental list can make a massive difference in how effectively I can work.

[Distracted_Explorer]

Girl you are me 😂 My husband makes fun of me for the pile method, but he agrees IT WORKS! So glad it's not just me 😂 I also clean by room but I also clean by levels. I start with the highest thing and clean downward. All the tables and counters first, wiping chairs off second, sweeping last. It gets me to clean every table, every chair and the entire floor. ADHD is so complicated 😂❤ Thank you for making us not feel "so alone" all the time!!

[martymodus]

Absolutely! And trying to clean too much at one time or get everything 'perfect' can lead to burnout and future avoidance.

[astrid]

Totally agree with cleaning room by room. When Marie Kondo’s book and method were popular and she recommended sorting by item like books for example in the entire house it felt so overwhelming. Even if I have books in 4 rooms and the garage, I will sort them by room. It’s so much easier and less overwhelming. I try and just keep garbage in one section now and address that area frequently and it doesn’t spread to bigger areas haha.

[house]

This is what i am trying to do now, but that screaming voice in my head that the rest of the house is a mess is really really hard to ignore, and when i out my piles somewhere else i get distracted on the way back!

[Talklesssmilemore.]

I love making piles but when my mom would walk in and see my un finished room she would say “this isn’t cleaning” and I’d explain the process and she would say “this is gonna take you twice as long then just cleaning regularly” idc cuz I like my piles

[endingparasite]

Omg i use piles too it really helps with me with feeling overwhelmed

[ergosteur]

Hah I have slowly developed doing this over the years but never actually fully realized it until watching this video
